As Ranboo spoke, the color seemed to instantly drain from Tubbo's face. "Tommy? He—he's not dead?"
"Ranboo, are you sure...that you saw Tommy? A living, breathing person—not, like, a ghost or something?" Big Q asked in disbelief and confusion, "And Techno, you say?" I was surprised, but for different reasons than the others, and there were many questions running through my brain.
What in the world are they doing here—are they stupid or something? I thought Tommy didn't want Tubbo and the others to know he was alive! Did they really come just to get back Techno's weapons?
"I'm certain," Ranboo nodded confidently, "Tommy's acting the same as he always has, and I'm certain he's alive. And Techno was with him. They took Connor hostage and demanded that we return Techno's weapons—or else they would kill Connor."
Tubbo and the others seemed at a loss for words, so I decided to speak up. "Can someone please explain to me who Connor is? Because I have absolutely no idea and it's making this situation more confusing for me."
"Connor is decently new to here and he isn't a citizen of L'Manburg. I don't know if you've seen him around—he's a man in a blue Sonic onesie," Fundy explained, "Owns a piece of land that's called Little P—you know what, that's not important. Still, that doesn't mean we can leave him to die. Tubbo, thoughts?"
The brunet took a deep breath and swallowed the lump in his throat, then nodded with a firm expression on his face. "Let's go. Big Q—go grab one or two of Techno's weapons. If we can't defuse the situation, I'm willing to return a few."
"Got it," Big Q affirmed. He slipped past Ranboo and ran out the door. If I remember correctly—Techno's items were being stored in a hidden chest nearby. Where exactly, I did not know.
"So, where are they, Ranboo?" Tubbo asked.
"Near the edge of L'Manburg, close to the Prime Path and staircase that leads up to Tommy's old house," the black and white male responded.
Tubbo clenched his teeth and then bolted out the door.
"Hey—Tubbo, slow down!" I exclaimed, quickly chasing after him. Ranboo jumped out of the way as I ran through the doorway and grabbed the door frame to swing myself down the hall and towards the front door, which was wide open. Outside, Tubbo was a few steps away so I reached out and grabbed his arm to stop him from going any further.
"(Y/n), stop," he whined, slightly annoyed, "I need to see Tommy. I need to see him. I have so many questions...h–how could he be alive? Why did he leave? I'm just so confused–" I wrapped my arms around him and held him there as he paused mid sentence and fell silent.
"I know there's a lot on your mind all of a sudden," I whispered to him, "But just take a step back and breathe for a moment. You can't just rush over there—we need to go with the others. We have to make sure we play this right."
His gaze dropped to the ground. "I know. I just felt—well, honestly, I don't know how I feel right now. I'm just so confused and lost." I nodded in understanding, releasing him from my arms.
"Tubbo! (Y/n)!" I turned around and saw Big Q, along with Fundy and Ranboo, walking out the front door of the White House and approaching us. Big Q had Techno's rocket launcher over his shoulder and his pickaxe in one of his hands. "I've got the stuff. Let's go."
The journey over was silent and the atmosphere felt thick with worry and anticipation. Ranboo led the way, and soon enough, I could spot three figures in the distance. One, wearing a red and white shirt—Tommy. Another with a red robe and golden crown that shone brightly in the midday sun—Techno. And a third that was wearing a blue outfit was, I presumed, Connor. The three of them seemed to notice us and paused while looking in our direction.
Tubbo released a shuttered breath. I reached over and took hold of his hand, hoping that it gave him a bit of comfort. Techno and Tommy were important to me, but if it ever came where I had to choose between losing one of them—I knew that I'd choose Tubbo in a heartbeat.
We walked closer, and now I could tell that Connor's hands were bound by an old, brown rope as Techno held onto his arm, staring at us with a blank expression. Tommy was standing on the pigman's other side, and there was a strange, tense look on the blonde's face.
"Tommy? Is that really you?" Tubbo asked hesitantly, his eyes wide and glossy, "You're not—you're not dead?"
"I'm not, no," Tommy replied in a flat voice.
"I...I tried to visit you," the brunet explained with a stutter, "I was ready to try to solve things with you, and (Y/n) and I got there—we saw the destruction—saw that tower...I thought the worst, Tommy! All of us did! We all thought you were fucking dead!"
Tommy clenched his teeth at the sharp pitch of Tubbo's voice, tightening his hands into fists at his side. "Tried to visit me, huh? Took you long enough, didn't it? I was there for over two fucking weeks! You have no idea what he—Dream—was doing to me! You have no goddamn idea, Tubbo!"
"Because I was scared, Tommy! Scared that we would fight again if I saw you!" Tubbo responded in slight anger, "You can't even imagine how I felt when I saw that tower. I made you a grave, for fuck's sake! And here you are, alive and well, with Techno—of all people!"
"Hey, listen, I didn't really ask for this—" Techno cut in with a nervous laugh, "I got back from escaping that little execution of yours and the child was rummaging through my supplies like a thief." The pig man's eyes flickered towards me for a moment before looking back at Tubbo.
He should know by now that I didn't tell anyone.
"Okay, listen, I don't care about that, okay?" Tommy exclaimed, shrugging his shoulders, "I've been doing fine with Techno, and I'll gladly keep it that way. We've got another issue with you lot right now—Connor and Techno's weapons."
The man in the blue onesie lifted his bound wrists and gave an awkward two-handed wave, a lopsided smile on his face. "Hey, guys!"
